Technique

How to perform Cable Underhand Front Raise

  1. Attach a straight bar to a low pulley and face the machine.
  2. Hold the bar about shoulder-width with your palms up and your hands in front of your thighs.
  3. Keep your torso still, knees softly bent and elbows nearly straight.
  4. Raise the bar forward to about shoulder height, preserving your underhand grip and elbow angle.
  5. Let your shoulder blades move naturally with your arms rather than pinning them down.
  6. Lower the bar smoothly without swinging your hips.
